RESEARCH FELLOW

Jon is currently based in the School of Media and Communication at the University of Leeds. His research interests include issues around cultural and creative labour, and culture-led urban policy, particularly in relation to issues of sustainability. He obtained his PhD in sociology from the University of Kent. This research critically explored artistic labour and culture-led regeneration in two coastal towns and found that, while being an artist may be considered a kind of ‘good job’, there remain important structural issues that limit access to the field and further call in to question the sustainability of artist-led regeneration.
